Then they are the only ones saying that. Everyone I have seen says RGIII. It will go back and forth like that. When Luck loses and RGIII wins it will be RGIII.
When it is the other way around, it will be Luck. But I have watched both and it isn't even close..... RGIII......

Re: Luck vs Griffin - let it begin.

I would have thought since Ol Blu had those tickets he would have noticed not everyone was wearing a #18 jersey. Ton of Reggie Wayne, Dallas Clark, Freeney, Sanders, Brackett, Saturday, Harrison, Edge, Addai, and on and on jerseys too. The current fan base is so much different than when the Mayflower trucks pulled up. My first son was born a week before the Colts first training camp in Anderson and my second boy three years later. They're both out of college, married, and never miss watching a game.

Oh by the way.... another sell out this week for the Andrew Luck led Indianapolis Colts. Yep those mediocre Colt fans bailed like crazy now didn't they.

I don't wear jerseys but if I did, it would be Luck's.... I would still wear 18 and I'll be there are still a lot of those at the games. If not that then Reggie Wayne's number. He is having a superstar season and bailing out Luck's ***.....

That's because you only click on links that contain "RG3". And even when you read something good for Luck, your mind completely doesn't register it. It's called selective attention and memory.

There are two types of quarterbacks in the league: Those whom over time, the league figures out ... and those who figure out the league.

Re: Luck vs Griffin - let it begin.

I could send you links to a hundred article that say your are wrong. The stats say you are wrong.....

Oh and another thing, advanced statistics say that Luck is having the better season. But other statistics say RG3 is having a better season. Some people say Luck is better. Other people say RG3 is better. And around and around we go....

NFL OFFENSIVE ROOKIE OF THE YEAR: Andrew Luck, Quarterback, Indianapolis ColtsRobert Griffin III has been a revelation in the nation’s capital and the subject of nearly as many marketing campaigns as Peyton “Papa John” Manning, but Luck’s my rookie of the year at the midway point of the season. If the playoffs were to start this weekend, the Colts — a team that went 2-14 a year ago — would be one of the AFC’s two wild card teams. He’s already led the Colts to three late fourth quarter or overtime wins and he’s the leader in a locker room full of veterans. The No. 1 overall pick in the 2012 NFL Draft, he’s led the Colts to the highest winning percentage (.571) by a rookie quarterback who was a No. 1 overall pick through Week 8 in NFL history. He’s the man in Indy. And it didn’t take long

Don't ask Marvin Harrison what he did during the bye week. "Batman never told where the Bat Cave is," he explained.

But that can't be! Everyone is saying it should be RG3! Olblu said so!

And for the past two weeks, Luck has won while RG3 has lost.

You forgot another part:

EXECUTIVE OF THE YEAR: Ryan Grigson, General Manager, Indianapolis Colts

A football lifer, Grigson’s done a tremendous job in his first season as the Colts’ GM. In hiring Chuck Pagano, Greg Manusky, and Bruce Arians, he brought in the right coaches to right the ship. In Andrew Luck, he drafted the right man to lead the franchise into the future. In keeping veterans Robert Mathis, Dwight Freeney, and Reggie Wayne — he ensured the transition from the Manning to Luck era wouldn’t be as drastic as imagined. A+ job from Grigson.

This is all well and good, but we still have another half of the season for everything to play out. I agree, we're doing a MUCH better job than ANY of us anticipated. But if we somehow lost the rest of the games this year lol we can't exactly rub all the positive news for the Colts in the face of doubters.

True, but 4 wins is already twice as many wins as some doubters predicted.

As crazy as OlBlu is, I think he is right in that RGIII currently LOOKS better than Luck. His passes are more accurate and he looks just as poised in the pocket. When you ACTUALLY sit down and watch all the games, RGIII is more impressive so far. Keep in mind that he is not in an entirely new system like Luck. This is Shenanigan's 3rd season while the Colts have a new GM, 2 new head coaches, new schemes, etc. The situations are not identical. RGIII is in an offense that does not rely on him to shoulder the load nearly as much as Luck. Like many others have stated though, I think Luck will win the "QB war" over time due to the following:

1) Luck is the more cerebral QB. He is ready to move to 100% no huddle. His only hurdle is that his rookie team members are not there yet. He looks identical to Manning his rookie season, only with less weapons.
2) RGIII is in a MUCH tougher division(and Conference). Luck will have a better winning percentage due to an easier schedule.
3) RGIII is more injury prone. RGIII is reluctant to slide or shy away from contact. Watch him run. He's already had 1 concussion. Luck runs, but he prioritizes his safety over yardage.

Both QBs have played as advertised this season and if they continue at this pace, they will both go into the books as two of the best rookie seasons ever.

I think this offense is almost identical to the one that Luck played in college.
I don't belive 2. I think they will be about the same or RGIII will have the advantage...
I also do not believe three....

#3 is a fact, Jack. RGIII will have to adjust his game because he will get knocked out cold one of these days. Maybe prior to the end of this season. OTOH, the Colts better work on their O-Line at every turn. They don't want Luck to get beat up because quite frankly he's as talented as Elway and Manning and you don't want him getting injured.

While the Colt's system may be similar, the team is in a very delicate situation. There are a ton of "rebuilding" elements that apply to the Colts that do not apply to the Redskins. You can water it down all you like, but the situation in Washington is more friendly for a rookie QB than in Indianapolis.

2) Are you saying that the NFC East is not better than the AFC South? Or that the NFC is not better than the AFC this year? Or that RGIII and the Redskins will have a better winning percentage out of sheer talent?
3) I'm not sure how you can possibly believe this if you have watched both of them play. Griffin already has 1 concussion under his belt and was extremely lucky not to receive one on that stupid play last week when he went out as a wide receiver.

Aslo...I try to throw you an olive branch and you **** all over it. Lol.
